Mrs Merkel said she has no regrets over her refugee policy, which saw Germany controversially open its doors to hundreds of thousands of refugees two years ago, despite the deep rifts the decision caused in her party.

The arrests have contributed to worsening relations between Berlin and Ankara, which have also been strained by other issues.

She says "we would like better relations, but that has something to do with the fulfillment of the principles of the rule of law".

She added, though, that this does not mean a political transformation in Syria is not needed. "I thought that Nazism was over in Germany, but it turns out that it is still going on", he said.

The commissioner, Aydan Ozoguz, has Turkish roots and had said that "a specifically German culture is, beyond the language, simply not identifiable". Merkel told members of her Christian Democratic Union at a previous rally in northern Germany that her government would "do everything in its power" to secure Yücel's release.
